Would certainly recommend the new mountain figure of eight route, and look out for the turning that goes up and around the tower as it will not take you up there by default unless you opt it.
I ended up getting so immersed in the realism that I even got properly crouched down on the bars on the descent....

I planned to have 30mins easy just to get the idea of what it was about.... Ended up climbing a mountain for 1hr 10mins.
Went up to the tower and down the other side, I had no idea when it was going to end!!! Came down the hill and on to another climb so I had to call it quits for the night.
A little confusing as to what the route is, I couldn't figure out what route I'd chosen really and not sure if when I.log on again if I will still be at the bottom of that hill?
Very addictive though, I normally only do 30-60 min interval sessions on the turbo but I felt I could have gone for a lot longer, really got into it mentally.

I know what you mean! I only had an hour this PM before I had to take the boys to Karate so jumped on and headed up the big hill!! I really enjoyed it but unfortunately didn't have time to do the last bit to the tower that @AlanW mentioned (for some reason my RPM was registering as 140+ so got off and reset the cadence sensor before continuing at a 'normal' cadence!!). I'm saving that last bit for next time!!
The decent was fun with a couple of up hills that meant you had to work a little but good fun all the same. I had to quit at just over an hour as I was already running late but next time I'd like to do the full ascent and loop.

After the mountain figure of eight route, the next challenge is the Pretzel route, 58.8 miles and 6,656' of climbing includes two climbs up to the radio mast.....bring it on

When you log on again you're always placed in more or less the same spot just before the start line banner.
Also just to point out that tomorrow and Friday (I would imagine) are Richmond days so Watopia and the mountain route won't be available unless you either change your PC clock (not recommended) or use the hack below:

Sadly my Zwift subscription expires on 5th April and now the sun has started to shine I wont be renewing until the Autumn. Almost a shame, as I was getting quite into it over the last six months or so.
As its a pay monthly I'm keeping mine going at the minute. If I go on twice a week it's a £1 per ride - bargain.
Like yesterday, the weather was lovely but it was a family day out so no chance of a ride but went on around 9pm for an hour and a half. I think it might prove its worth in those circumstances but only time will tell !

I used the 'world' edit last night to make sure I was in Watopia so I could do the mountain climb again but to the very top this time

Interesting to see around 300 other people in Watopia as well/doing the same!!
